I was just searching and genuinely couldn’t find it anymore. I distinctly remember watching an engineering explained video on it, too, but couldn’t find it.
The thing is: heavier cars wear tires down more. This also applies to large SUVs and Pickups. The issue is that people only care about it when it’s due to it being an EV.
Do you know the name of this study? I’m curious to see if they tested the same set of tires on both or if the EV was on factory low resistance ones

If I recall they didn’t actually test the ev. They tested a heavier vehicle and just assumed that would be the ev since evs are heavier.
One sec, ill look for it
